BACKGROUND:Exendin can regulate blood glucose, blood lipid and blood pressure, exert anti-inflammation and anti-oxidative stress effects, improve myocardial infarction and heart failure, and protect heart vessels. However, the effect on the apoptosis of cardiac muscle cels after ischemia/reperfusion injury remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of Exendin-4 pretreatment on the cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in rats with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. METHODS:The myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established in rats and then received Exendin-4 pretreatment. Ischemia/reperfusion group and sham operation group were set. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Immunohistochemical staining, TUNEL and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction results showed that Bcl-2 protein and mRNA expression levels in the Exendin-4 group were significantly increased (P < 0.05), while Bax protein and mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased compared with ischemia/reperfusion group (P < 0.05). In addition, apoptosis index was more significantly decreased in the Exendin-4 group than in the ischemia/reperfusion group (P < 0.05). Exendin-4 can protect rat heart muscle against ischemia/reperfusion injury and effectively inhibit the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, and the underlying mechanism is mediated by up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax expression.

Objective To investigate the expressions of metallothionein-2A (MT-2A), E-cadherin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), cyclin E, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and bcl-2 in prostate cancer tissues and their correlation with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Methods Tissue specimens from 128 cases of prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy in Shanxi Dayi Hospital from October 2012 to October 2017 were processed and transferred into tissue microarrays, the clinicopathological parameters of patients were also recorded. The expression levels of MT-2A, E-cadherin, IL-6, cyclin E, PCNA and bcl-2 were detected by immunohistochemical avidin-biotin complex (ABC) staining. The correlation between different molecular markers and biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer was analyzed. Results The biochemical recurrence rate of 128 patients with prostate cancer was 30.5% (39/128). The biochemical recurrence rates of low-risk, intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate cancer patients were 14.8%(8/54), 38.7%(24/62) and 58.3% (7/12), respectively. The risk classification and pathological T stage of patients with prostate cancer were associated with the expressions of MT-2A, cyclin E, IL-6 and E-cadherin (all P< 0.05). Multivariate Cox risk model showed that the high risk classification (HR= 1.81, 95%CI 1.56-2.19, P=0.042), MT-2A positive expression (HR= 2.01, 95%CI 1.08-3.15, P= 0.005), cyclin E positive expression (HR= 1.79, 95%CI 1.08-2.21, P= 0.042) and E-cadherin negative expression (HR= 1.92, 95% CI 1.22-2.45, P= 0.020) were the independent risk factors for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Conclusion The expression of MT-2A, cyclin E and E-cadherin may serve as independent predictors for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.

China Modern Doctor 2015;(14):147-151
Adult congenital heart disease refers to a group of congenital malformations in children caused by the ac-tual or potential of the cardiovascular abnormalities during the fetal period. Adult congenital heart disease was less in the past years. In the recent 20 years, the category of the disease gradually has increased, and especially the complex deformities demanding for surgical treatment increases every year, including complex great arteries translocation, single ventricle and so on. Currently, Color Doppler echocardiography can be used as the primary method for screening and diagnosis of congenital heart disease. In the recent years, the interventional therapy was preferred in the treatment of congenital heart disease, but surgical treatment, including one stage operation and staging operation was still preferred in the treatment of adult congenital heart disease for abnormal changes of structure, function and physical condition. Because the disease is congenital, the time of incidence is long, and clinical symptoms appear in late adulthood, lack-ing early-specificity, but with potentially fatality, it is prone to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis in clinical work. Now, researches related to surgical treatment of adult congenital heart disease was reviewed.

Objective To compare the therapeutic efficacy, safety and complication incidence of three minimally invasive surgical procedures for hypertensive hemorrhage in basal ganglia. Methods According to the operation procedure, 78 patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage (GCS 6-12) were divided into endoscopic surgery group, stereotactic burr-hole aspiration group and small bone flap craniotomy group. The time of operation, and the blood loss volume during operation were compared among the 3 groups. CT was reused to calculate the residual volume and clearance rate of hematoma within 2 d after operation. The neurological outcomes, case fatality rate were analyzed after 6 months of the surgery according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Results The small bone flap craniotomy group had the longest operation time [(175.7±55.7) min, P<0.05]. The blood loss volume [(296.5±158.6)mL] during operation in small bone flap craniotomy group was relatively more than those in the other 2 groups (P<0.05). The endoscopic surgery group had the highest hematoma clearance rate (84.5%±8.2%,P<0.05). The therapeutic outcomes evaluated by GOS in the endoscopic surgery group were more satisfactory than those in the other 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Endoscopic surgery not only leads to less tissue damage, but also has advantages of higher hematoma clearance rate and effective hemostasis resulting in better neurological functional outcomes, therefore is an ideal choice for cerebral hemorrhage patients who has no need of large bone flap craniotomy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of thyroid hormone in nude mice bearing human pancreatic cancer xenograft.
METHODSA BALB/c nude mouse model bearing pancreatic cancer was established with human pancreatic cancer cell line Bx-PC3. The mouse models were divided randomly into 5 groups, namely the control group treated with distilled water, high and low concentrations of thyroid hormone (T3) groups, and high and low concentration of propylthiouracil (PTU) groups. After intervention for 21 days, the changes in body weight and xenograft tumor volume and weight were measured, and the serum T3 concentration was detected by ELISA assay. The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and microvessel density (MVD) were detected using immunohistochemistry.
RESULTSThe body weight of nude mice in T3 groups was significantly reduced after intervention, while that in PTU groups showed no obvious changes. Compared with PTU groups and control group, T3 groups showed significantly reduced tumor volume and weight (P<0.05) with also reduced PCNA expression and MVD, but these effect did not exhibit a dose dependence (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONThyroid hormone can inhibit the growth of human pancreatic cancer in nude mice by suppressing the proliferation and angiogenesis of the tumor cells, suggesting the potential value of thyroid hormone in pancreatic cancer therapy.

OBJECTIVETo assess the effect of a liquid embolic agent 2-poly-hydroxyethyl -methacrylate (2-P-HEMA) for renal artery embolization in rabbits.
METHODSThe precipitation time of different concentrations (2%, 3.5%, 5%, 6.5%, 8% and 9.5%) of 2-P-HEMA dissolved in different solutions (ethanol, ethanol/iobitridol, and ethanol/Bi2O3) were determined in flowing water. The mixtures of 2-P-HEMA (2%, 5%, and 8%) with ethanol/ Bi2O3 were injected into the renal arteries of the rabbits, and the artery-embolizing effects were assessed using angiography at 2 and 12 weeks after the injection, with also macroscopic and microscopic examination of the embolized kidneys.
RESULTSThe mixtures of 2-P-HEMA and ethanol formed flocculent precipitation a few seconds after injection into flowing water, and the precipitation time showed no significant variations with the concentration of 2-P-HEMA in the mixture. Low and moderate concentrations of 2-P-HEMA could pass through the microcatheter smoothly with little injection resistance, and resulted in complete occlusion of the renal arteries without adhesion to the microcatheter. Angiography at 2 and 12 weeks detected no recanalization of the occluded renal arteries. Macroscopically, the lumen of the renal arteries was found to be occluded by the embolic agents, and deep penetration of the embolic agents into the glomerular arteries was observed microscopically. The mixture containing high-concentration 2-P-HEMA was difficult to deliver through the microcatheter due to high injection resistance.
CONCLUSION2-P-HEMA can be rapidly precipitated after injection into flowing water, and allows complete embolization of the renal arteries of rabbits at proper concentrations, suggesting its great potential as an endovascular liquid embolic agent.
